Podcast Roundup

The work week continues on. We’ve made it through Monday and are firmly entrenched in Tuesday. If you’re like me, you’re looking forward to that next weekend. I find that listening to gaming podcasts helps out with that. And that’s just what we’ve got for you here.

We’re excited to be back for a second episode. This time we begin by pouring a glass of a delicious IPA from Three Magnets Brewing. Then we bust out Lords of Waterdeep and gush about how much we love it. Lords of Waterdeep is an instantly classic worker-placement that’s easy to learn and, more importantly, a ton of fun to play. We wrap things up with some banter about what’s brewing in the world of tabletop.

But enough of this reading stuff! Grab yourself a stool, press play and relax as we pour you this deliciously frosty episode of the Gaming on Tap Podcast!

The Meeples crew get together once again to talk about what they have been up to, which this week includes Wings of Glory WWI, Conqueror Models Dwarves, Star Wars: Armada and Empires at War buildings.

For the feature part of our show this week, we chat with Jon Tuffley from Ground Zero Games. We talk about how he got started in the industry, the birth of the classic games Full Thrust, Dirtside and Stargrunt, and what the company is doing at the moment. We even get chance to answer a few listener questions.

Aron West, best known as the co-designer of Catacombs, the dexterity dungeon crawl, comes onto the Cardboard Herald to talk with Jack about the development of catacombs, storytelling, designing dexterity games, Kickstarter delays, and the importance of stretching before a con. It was an absolute pleasure to talk with Aron, and with so many upcoming Catacombs projects on the horizon, Jack can’t wait to get his flick on.

Today the Founders take a look at the newest CMON game, Massive Darkness and look back at Mansions of Madness Second Edition. Then after Tony T gives us another fun filled tour through all of the news from the gaming industry the gang talks about nostalgia in board gaming.

Despite the travails of hurricane season, episode 11 has arrived and with it Simon and Laurie talk about painting samurai, Grymkin, and some big game news including the release of the new edition of the Batman miniatures game. Special guest, Andy Hobday, of Warlord Games, and co-developer of Test of Honour talks to Simon about his career, his work on Test of Honour, and drops some exclusive news about future expansions for Test of Honour and announces his next upcoming game, Gangs of Rome! Simon reviews the Path to Glory supplement for Warhammer: Age of Sigmar before he and Laurie talk about the Depression Horse cartoon, filthy British comedy and close out the episode with some questions from the audience.

Andrew, Jason and Ritch talk about how to approach playing a new guild for the first time, what can be learnt from it, and why people do it. Then Andrew gets salty and plays Masons again anyway, and Jason stays on the Blackheart train.
